OPINIÓN

WECHSLER, Judge.

1. Plaintiff Peter Chavez appeals the grant of summary judgment to the City of Albuquerque (the City) based on claim preclusion, commonly known as res judicata. We must determine the preclusive effect of Plaintiffs administrative grievance proceeding on his subsequent district court action. In so doing, we also consider whether the City’s personnel board (personnel board) would have had authority to consider the district court claims had Plaintiff raised those claims during the administrative proceeding. We affirm in part and reverse in part.
